PHOTOS: It’s official: Olympics are returning to Los Angeles in 2028

The International Olympic Committee has made it official. Los Angeles will host the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games. The IOC voted unanimously Wednesday in Lima, Peru to award the 2024 Games to Paris and a third Olympics to Los Angeles four years later. “We have reached an extraordinary moment for the Olympic Movement and for the future of the Olympic Games,” said Anita DeFrantz, an IOC member and senior advisor to Los Angeles 2028. “We have two excellent plans, one for organizing the 2024 Games and one for organizing the 2028 Games – in many ways, it’s a perfect decision for all of us.”
